  1. Bridge is about counting you say. Well on the last hand I count 14 spades as there seems to be two spade 3's.

  2. In the last problem, there is a danger of blockade in D - if you cash H and C... Taking that into account, what should be the right line of play.

    1. I see no blockage. If someone has one diamond, cash a big one and finesse. If someone is void, run an honour through the the other player.

  3. I made the worst answer it could be. However your explanination are some clear and menaningfull that I learned a lot. Thanks. Francis

        1. worthless to learn how to play brigde. Hands all screwed up, and unless you bid according to the way the guy wants you to, and play his system, which is an enigma, don't waste your time here.

          1. I can't disagree more. Whatever be the system, the thinking process is the most important. Of course, he uses 2/1, which is most popular.
